This week I’m participating in #WeekdaySupper, where contributors share easy meal ideas to help you get dinner on the table. As soon as the snow melts here, and sometimes when it’s still flying, our grill is on overdrive. Most everyone loves grilled burgers, but I like to mix that up. This recipe combines the Moroccan [...]
Moroccan salads are so important to the dinner table. One of the easiest, is this tomato and onion salad. It’s always on the table if there is fish being served and you’re likely to find it in regular rotation with many other meals as well. It may become a new favorite after you give it [...]
I love scouring the condiment aisle at any market I find myself in. When traveling it’s one of the most interesting aisles to explore. You can learn so much about people and their food culture. I never knew mayonnaise was so easy to make! As part of my preparation to move to Morocco, I’ve been [...]
The tajine is a Moroccan slow-cooker. It’s an ancient cooking pot originally used by the indigenous Berbers of North Africa. It is not only the word used to describe the cooking vessel but the meal contained inside. Braniya happens to be one of MarocBaba’s favorite meals, though it was only this year that he “remembered.” [...]
Morocco isn’t known for it’s coffee culture but I’ve found the “coffee culture” inside of many Moroccan homes to be my favorite part of the day. Arabica coffee sometimes mixed with spices and sometimes alone is brewed thick and served with plenty of sweet, whole milk. In honor of Mother’s Day in the United States [...]
Lamb or mutton is a meat that was new to me. My first memory encountering this was at a seder meal every 5th grader at my church attended. The seder meal marks the beginning of passover in Judaism. Don’t ask me why a bunch of Scandinavian Lutherans included this practice in their congregation. They [...]
Whenever I tell someone MarocBaba is Moroccan, the conversation almost always ends up on couscous. Even for people who have little knowledge about the country itself they know couscous. It’s one of my favorite dishes too but not so for MarocBaba. He never really liked it growing up and since he has been diagnosed with [...]
One of the best things that happened last year in my blogging world was finding and becoming a part of #SundaySupper. I’ve long felt that family meals are of terrible importance and the mission of #SundaySupper is just that – bringing families together. This week is the one year anniversary of this movement beginning. In [...]
A few weeks ago I shared the recipe for Meat and Vegetable Casserole with Pomegranate and let you know I was participating with a few other food bloggers to bring the cookbook An Edible Mosaic to our readers. Last year I started a cook and tweet event with Laura of The Spiced Life. Sadly due [...]
I am no stranger to Middle Eastern food though many Moroccan “foodies” would argue that Moroccan food isn’t Middle Eastern food. I would tend to agree with that. This recipe is a great example of just how true that is. I am participating with several other food bloggers taking part in a virtual potluck using [...]
I had really great intentions of getting this post up earlier this week but work got in the way. I hate it when that happens! Today is the last day of Hanukkah and so I wanted to make sure that I shared this post before it was too late. Then again, this whole experience has [...]
